what is the difference between ( have you been enrolled... ) & ( had you been enrolled.............).?

Question

what is the difference between ( have you been enrolled... ) & ( had you been enrolled.............).
does ( have you been enrolled...) mean the very recent past, just the past or a present situation?

Answer 1

Have you been enrolled is something which occurred any time in the past.
Had you been enrolled refers to something which happened before something else. ie Had you been enrolled when you took the test?

Answer 2

Admitted: accepted into the University Enrolled: classes registered. You could be admitted but not enrolled, but you have to be admitted in order to enroll. So, you become admitted (receive the letter) and then register those classes (enroll). Get it?

Answer 3

This is perhaps a better question than you realize. It raises grammatical complexities beyond my sphere of knowledge.
I will just say that the first example refers to your situation right now. The second relates to the past, which could have been last week or twenty years ago and strongly suggests that the main clause is yet to come. e.g. "Had you been enrolled by the time you sideswiped the Dean's car?" In Spanish, at least, this construction involves the Imperfect case.

Answer 4

Have you been enrolled?

Is a direct question. It implies you were going to enroll, and the questioner is asking for clarification if you have done it or not.

"Had you been enrolled..."

Is not even a question, more of a statement of what would have happened *IF* you enrolled. "Had you been enrolled, we could have been in the same class."

Thus the former is a question, the latter is more of an explanation of what could have been.

Answer 5

Have you been enrolled yet?
Had you been enrolled, you could have taken the courses you needed.
Have you been means someone is asking you if you have enrolled.
Had you been would be more of a statement type of a question as my example above shows.
Hope that helps.

Answer 6

"Have you enrolled?" is a complete sentence. It is another way of asking, "Did you enroll ?"

"Had you enrolled," written in the conditional tense, is a dependent clause which more or less means "If you had enrolled."

Answer 7

have you been enrolled is present as well as had you been enrolled, both are present situation.

Answer 8

have you been enrolled is a question. had you been enrolled is a statement

Answer 9

"have you" is present tense; "had you" is past tense... As for past tense ("had you"), it only means 'past' and not 'recent past' or anything like that... just 'past' ! If you really want to express a 'very recent past', I'd use the present tense, if it's so recent as to have just happened.
I hope you understand! Read it over and try...

Answer 10

have you been enrolled is passive of present perfect thus it gives the condition of the perfect action of the present condition and the had you been is passive of past perfect thus it gives the perfect action of the past condition ..................
